Toward a secure Internet

The Internet's rate of growth in recent years has brought with it
the attention of unscrupulous and even malicious types, seeking to
exploit weaknesses in its structure for their gain or even just for
kicks. While legal proceedings against "denial of service" attackers
is the usual tactic in these cases, Panix believes the only way to
stem this tide is for all Internet sites, providers, and backbones to
work together and prevent such from originating at our own systems.

More than once in our history, Panix has gone public with news of
attacks against our service when other institutions, similarly
attacked, either chose to maintain silence because they were
embarrassed to acknowledge their vulnerability or because they failed
to understand what was actually happening. By going public, we were
able to enlist the help of security experts, and to make some
fundamental changes in the development of the Internet.

Individual Account Security

Your Panix account (like any Internet account) exists on a public
system in a worldwide network. Because of this, it's important to
keep your account secure so that your email, account ID and even
your "virtual identity" remain yours alone.

Look here for all kinds of info about keeping your account secure,
and even enhancing that security with encryption, one-time
passwords, etc.
